I am absolutely midgety. It stinks because everyone thinks I'm younger then I actually am.

Q and A with a Tall Person:Top 5 things people say to me because I'm tall (and what I say back)

1.)Them: Do you play basketball?

Me:No, just because I'm tall doesn't mean I'm athletic. Sheesh!

2.) Them: What is it like looking down on people all the time?

Me: You don't realize it. I'm so used to looking down at people that I don't notice it.

3.) When you say your head is in the clouds, is it becase you're so tall?

Me: No, it's because I'm spacing out and not listening to anything you're saying.

4) So is there like a tall peoples' association or something?

No, most of my friends are shorter than me.

5) You're really tall.

Yeah, I don't think I need someone to tell me that I'm tall. I look in a mirror, you know.

Then why is your hair such a mess?

being tall is fun, but somtimes it's a bit embarassing. every one can see you whether you like it or not!

I'm pretty much average height, but I have a friend, pretend her name is Janna, who says that she LOVES being short.

TWO OF JANNA'S REASONS WHY SHORT IS AWESOME 

It's easier to duck under things - you never hit your head! 

You can pass for a little kid and get all the cool stuff that big kids don't, like another lollipop. ;)

First of all, we prefer vertically challenged and secondly, Cam is vertically challenged so you better watch who you call short. Some of the world's best people are small. Examples: Me, Me, Me, and Me. You can get into Disney for low price for a lot longer if you aren't tall. Erin is jealous of this fact. You know those games at the fair where every child wins a prize? Well, I highly doubt our friend Caroline could win a prize every time. No offense. Plus, with those age guessing games, you can trick the people who run them.

I have a friend who is short who is of one the smartest and most social people I know, and another friend who is very tall and a very likeable person... I really don't think height matters very often. I definitely don't think of people any different depending on their height.

I am moderately tall, and I enjoy it.  I like being thought of as older than I am.  However, I have a couple of more petite friends.  One is at my dance, and she is at my level.  Some people group her with her younger sister's level simply because she looks younger.  She can do anything I can!  My other friend just doesn't like being short.

Short people shouldn't get made fun of it's not right.

I'm not short though, i'm sorta a medium height :P

Ah, finally. The midgets get recognized. Having been a midget myself for all of my 12 years, 9 months, 2 days, and almost 23 hours, I am an expert in being short.

The best thing about it is probably the fact that you can still fit in all those awesome kiddy things, like the playplace at the Chick-fil-a's and Mcdonalds's, even when you're probably way too old. Also, when you have to fit in someplace small, like a tunnel you have to crawl through because your little sister wants to show you her "secret passage" to the other side of the porch, it's not a much of a hassle to get through. And you don't have that annoying phase when you're growing up when none of the clothes in the kids part of the store fit you, but you're too small for the teen sizes. You kinda fit in both... YAY!

The worst part is that people can NEVER GUESS YOUR AGE PROPERLY! You always end up in the group with the eight to ten year olds, or get the little kid prize, or whatever. It's so annoying when you're talking to an adult, and they say "Wow, you're pretty smart for a ten year old" and you're like, "What!? Hello? I am clearly TWELVE, almost THIRTEEN, thank you VERY much, " but you can't say that because it would be rude. *sigh* And don't get me started about having to reach stuff that's on the top shelf...

However, all in all, I think I like being short. At least you can wear heels or whatever without towering over EVERYONE, and you can hide pretty well in hide-and-seek when you play with your younger cousins or when you're babysitting...

SHORT PEOPLE ROCK YOUR MISMATCHED SOCKS!

I am tall, though looking at my class altogether you wouldn't know it. I am in 7th grade and about 5' 2"ish. Most of the boys are taller than me, (but only two of the girls...) BUT I skipped a grade, so if I was where I'm supposed to be, I'd tower over everyone. Being tall rocks because you can alway reach whereever someone hid the chocolate up high... tee hee hee.

However, one of my bestfriends is quite short and is, I  believe, quite happy as such. She makes up for her height with her strong will and personality; she is stubborn, fun, and extremely agrivating, all of which are reasons she's my friend (along with the fact that I'm friends with all the girls in my grade) (only 16 people in the 7th grade! compared to the 300 7th graders at the local public middle school, tee hee, when I tell my public school friends they find it so hard to believe!)

Thats my opinion, anyway.

I am not short. I am not tall either. I am medium. Is anyone else here medium? MEDIUM PEOPLE FTW!!!!!!

I don't mind being short.  I can fit anywhere.  Short rules!

I am short (comparably speaking that is) and i find that it is good in some ways. Like if you are tall and you climb a really tall tree, people will be lie "Nice job". But if you're short and you climb a tall tree, everyone will be like, "OMG you are awesome i cant believe you did it good for you and good luck in canada!" so it has its advantages. 

Well, I am in between medium and short. But just to say, my legs take up about half of my body. Even though I am a little short, I can reach the top of the fridge. The tallest girl in my class is into peace and hippies (I know.....) and the tallest boy in my class is very funny and is afraid of me (and i am shorter then him....awkward.....).

My younger sister is way taller than me. She gets to sit in the front seat of the car. I AM SHORT.

I am shorter (and younger) than everybody in my class because i skipped a grade. It's so annoying to have to get a stepstool to clean the whiteboard-and not get checked off because i "didn't clean that little scratch on the top of the board."

P.S. The Boston Celtics are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

My good friend, cat (I'm using her code name) is very tall. She's 12 and people think she's around 15! I am tall to, though not nearly as tall. I am almost 12 and 5'2 and a half. It's sorta nice and sometimes you come across grown up's shorter that you! When I was 8, I was at camp and they put me in a group for 10-12 year olds!

THE NUMBER 1 BESTEST THING ABOUT BEING SHORT:

Everyone (thats a girl) wants to carry me around!!! My friend Morgan started it and now:

Destiny, Cassidy, Jasmine, others that I can't think of

Are all carrying me everywhere!!! But no, the stupid vice principal would NOT have people carrying me. "PUT THE LITTLE GIRL DOWN!!!" he yells. "She's not little." my friend points out. "She's vertically challenged and fun sized. BUT SHE IS NOT SHORT!!! OR SMALL!!!!!!!" She would have gotten suspended, but she used her whisper voice.

I'm 5'2.5'' and 12 years old. I'm averagishly tallish, I guess. I'm not quite tall enough to reach stuff high up, but I can climb on counters, jump, etc. to get what I need. It's actually more fun than just reaching up and getting it.

MAN I WISH IT SNOWED MORE AROUND HERE!!! Sorry. Just had to say that. Early this year, we got enough snow that they closed the schools and we got to sled down this huge hill by our house! Almost all the kids in the neighborhood were out. You just had to make sure you didn't end up in the lake. Kinda off topic, but that's okay.
